Primary Identifier | MGI:1920999 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 17 | NCBI Gene Number | 225049 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Acts upstream of or within hemopoiesis and intracellular iron ion homeostasis. Predicted to be located in cytoplasm. Predicted to be active in plasma membrane. Used to study psoriasis. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in multiple intestinal atresia. Orthologous to human TTC7A (tetratricopeptide repeat domain 7A). PHENOTYPE: Homozygotes for a spontaneous mutation exhibit reduced growth, sparse hair, thickened, scaly skin, increased numbers of splenic B cells, macrophages, and erythroid cells, elevated IgE, glomerulonephritis, and forestomach papillomas.
